Abstract: Short processing summary:In ice covered regions like the Laptev Sea upward-looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) that are operating in bottom track (BT) mode use acoustic pulses to measure range (the distance between the instrument and the ice surface above). Multiple studies have shown that ADCP-internal pressure measurements provide instrument depth and therefore the means to derive sea ice draft. Due to the lack of internal pressure sensors the presented sea ice draft data from Laptev Sea ADCPs is based on a different approach t...
